I did 2 and 3, those were the least evil lol. Yeah it was alot harder compared o past ones I was aiming for an A but would be content with a B. What questions did you do?

I did 1 and 4. Haha
Hoenstly had no idea about the fig tree story and I decided that the only topic I wouldnt even touch was the resurrections, (even though my teacher predicted matthews resurrection to be on the paper, and it was )

Roman occupation went super well.
I made up the one about Gethemsane.... so i've not got *good* mark for that, but it was my best shot at it. Couldnt even attempt the other two
I *want* and A... but i'd be happy with a C or something, considering I didnt revise

The B part on Aristotle was amazing! You could talk about creationism,cosmological argument and teleological argument! It just wasn't linked closely to Aristotle.

Yeah it wasnt too bad.
I just talked about the aspects of God if he was all-loving etc etc. Mill's teleological against and Paleys for were a big part of my essay as well Creationism, Science, yepp, think I might have done okay... *maybe.....* XD

I'm pretty much in the same frame of mind as you: plus I didn't revise either hehe, how have your other exams gone?

What did you write about for the Euthanasia?

What did you write about for the Euthanasia?

Rights and personhood
Sanctity vs Quality
Doctrine of Double effect (because I did like a whole paragraph on the Church and Natural Law)
Slippery Slope
Kill vs Let Die
Dignity w/ Hospice

I included more scholars and ethical theories than I explained each of those issues; apparently you weren't supposed to do that.

Think it was a bit of a flop tbh! The practise essays I've done have all got really good marks but I'm not feeling too confident about the actual exam!

When I did my AS Philosophy exam for OCR RS I thought I completely messed up, was dreading results day...turned out I got 91% on the question, so don't feel not so confident about it!

I redid my AS Ethics this January too, thought I messed up Q4 as I completely forgot to look into the strengths and weaknesses of Aquinas, so said about one good and bad point about it then went straight into Kantian ethics as an alternative (something like that)...turns out I got an A in that exam too! 89%

So don't give up hope on doing well in the exam, you're probably just worrying over nothing like I was (:

I thought I messed up A2 Ethics in January as well, had a long day of all my exams with only an hours break (from 9-3ish), RS was right at the end of the day and as soon as I opened the paper I just couldn't think of what to put and I started worrying, seeing everyone else writing stuff down. I thought I completely messed up the virtue ethics question, and the question about free will I realised I missed out soft determinism...turns out I still got a C though so it wasn't too bad, didn't think I'd get that either.

So yeah, don't give up hope and all that, there's no need to worry about it as it's done and I'm sure you did better than expected (:

Yeah did similar but added ideas about liabilty. I also included the idea of autonomy and J.S Mills idea about liberty.

I mentioned Mill's personal autonomy but didn't go into nearly enough detail.

[DomPugh]

For personhood, which philosophers did you use?

I am reading all these comments and thinking oh pooooooooop i have done it all wrong. Fml. We only had 1 lesson on applied ethics on all the issues surrounding it. 1 hour was definitely not enough. Crap.

Since the new spec' every paper EVER has had at least 2 of the 4 parts as Applied questions. That goes for A2 Ethics aswell

Its annoying seem as pretty much everyone spends ages learning and revising the theories. But then again, real ethics is about issues not pure theory to be fair to OCR.

I am so annoyed. hope my Buddhism brings it up because thankfully she has some sense and teaches us the right things properly.

[DomPugh]

Ahh i didn't do Buddhism, we did philosophy of religion.

Thanka, that's reassuring to hear! I dot suppose you're studying any RS related subject at the moment?
